I must admit I don't like the idea of giving my kids goreh names. Our Sikh naes have a real meaning pertaining to the history of the Sikhs.

For example - my own name Randip is Ran = Battle Dip = Flame, or the flame of battle, which is honouring our ancestors.

People have a problem with keeping our names, because goreh mispronounce them, but there are many beautiful Sikh names you can keep which sound ok in English and also honour your ancestors, eg Simran, Daya, Maya, Jodh, Jeevan, Deeraj etc.

Me, I like keeping Sikh names, but I am concious of their English pronounciation too. :TH:

  I guess easier ways of learning have taken precedence. There are so many Youtube channels and podcasts available that people are more ready to listen for knowledge at their own leisure. There are so many great kathas available online that take months to listen, so that people may not really get the time to come here and write.

  *Bump The current conflict (w/ Iran getting involved) is being orchestrated by a 3rd party in my opinion. We all are going to blame the Jewish community (how they run the banks, how they are brutal and etc.) but they have a point in this conflict. As soon as people start finding about the truth that's when the real movement will begin.

  Might delay Sikhs becoming a minority in Punjab for a few more years. Do these students actually study and work in a related field after their course or is it purely for immigration?
